G-LAN Gaming Tournament

Geek Ireland, in partnership with The Gaming Leagues of Ireland are delighted to announce G-LAN!

G-LAN is Ireland’s first and only dedicated eSport event taking place three times a year in the Spring, Summer and Winter where we will have players come from across the country to play in their favourite eSport games such as League of Legends, Call of Duty, Pokémon and many more in the future. We held out first event in March of 2014 and the response we received was incredibly encouraging and showed that there is a real desire in the community for more of these events. This is exactly what we’re aiming to deliver with our Summer tournament on an even bigger basis! Our Summer G-LAN will take place in the O’Callaghan Alexander Hotel over 2 days, July 19th & 20th and will feature the Quarter/Semi-Finals to Finals of our League of Legends Tournament as well as the first XBoX One LAN event in the country of Call of Duty Ghosts.

League of Legends Tournament

1st Place: €500 per team 9600 RP per player Triumphant Ryze per player

2nd Place: €250 per team 7100 RP per player

3rd Place: €150 per team 4600 RP per player

4th Place: €100 per team 2400 RP per player

Call of Duty Tournament

For Call of Duty Ghost, the prize pool will be announced closer to the event, as it depends on sign up but we are aiming to have at least €1500*(based on 20 teams) of a prize pool available for our winners as well as a host of other prizes. Call of duty team registration carries a cost of €200, or €50 per player due to the increased prize pool and provision of XBox Ones. This tournament is being run with the crew from DubLAN who have run very successful Call of Duty tournaments in the past!

So that everyone can get in on the fun, we’re going to be organising community games where you’ll get to take on Riot Games in a head to head with your team mates or with a random section from the audience.
